I had a great time on the daytime bike tour. Jimmy was masterful with weaving in stories about Tucson, including many interesting "non-touristic" and colorful places and local lore. He was safely conscious from the start and the pacing of the trip was just fine. I particularly loved that he played appropriate music via his iPhone and portable speaker through barrio viejo for atmospheric enhancement, had photo and message props and could answer questions on a wide variety of topics. Thanks for a fun and interesting urban bike trip!

An excellent afternoon, well worth the cost--easy-to-ride bike, helmet and water provided. Lots of interesting sites with great commentary by Jimmy (owner and tour guide). Learned a lot and got to see/learn many things I otherwise wouldn't have. Lots of stops for rest, learning, one bathroom/water refill stop and food break (bring your own snack or buy at the historic Barrio Anita Market). Didn't hurt that it was a gorgeous 75 degree day, but a terrific way to explore 12 miles of Tucson. Jimmy also provides an email recap of all of the sites/neighborhoods.

Ah, finally a review that mentions the value of the tour. Thanks for mentioning it. People often steer clear on money matters on tour reviews, but it's an important consideration when making travel plans. It's not easy setting a price that provides the right value to the visitor and operator alike. I feel I pack quite a bit of value into the tour. I'm glad you agree!

Two couples took this bike tour, all different cycling abilities and some varying interests. We all came away saying we got a real overview of history, neighborhoods and Tucson today. After discovering things with our guide, Jimmy Bultman, we went back on different days to explore further. We loved the neighborhood bakery we wouldn't have found on our own, the pieces of history buried in contemporary Tucson, and the feeling of familiarity we got that you just don't get on a drive through. Well maintained bikes, water and helmet provided, always felt safe, and a basket for a light jacket or goodies. All you need to do is hop on!
